SMALL STEPS


A grandmother advised:
In difficult times,
you move forward in small steps. 
Do what you have to do, but little by little. 
Don't think about the future,
or what may happen tomorrow. 
Wash the dishes. 
Remove the dust. 
Write a letter. 
Make a soup.
You see?
You are advancing step by step.
Take a step and stop.
Rest a little. 
Praise yourself. 
Take another step.
Then another. 
You won't notice, but your steps
will grow more and more. 
And the time will come when you think
about the future without crying.
